Multi Cereal French Bread



10 Grain Hot Cereal is a unique blend of flavorful whole grains that is packed with nutrition. This wonderful cereal contains wheat, corn, rye, triticale, oats, soy beans, millet, barley, brown rice, oat bran and flaxseed. Most refined grains lose 78% of their filling, heart-healthy fiber as well as half its vitamins and minerals in the milling process. So make sure that your bread or bread product says it is 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain rather than just "wheat bread" or "multigrain bread".

This loaf is magnificent; everything you want in a homemade bread. It’s, Seriously simple, Tender on the inside, Crusty on the outside, Loaded with whole grains, Seedy, Dreamy & Perfect.
This makes the perfect bread for toast, sandwiches, french toast, and everything in between. We had our breakfast with these french loafs by topping some strawberry jam and peanut butter. Loved the taste of freshly baked Multi cereal french bread.
